Beaches
Most of Italy is coastal and by the Mediterranean sea, so there are lots of beaches.
Due to the hot Summer weather and tourism industry, beaches and coastal towns are very popular.
Beach towns such as Elba, Alghero, Salento and Villasimius are good for other activities such as scuba divining and camping
Volcanoes
The main (and biggest) three volcanoes in Italy are Vesuvius, Etna and Stromboli.
Etna is located over the city of Catania, it is the biggest volcano in Europe and is probably the second most active in the world.
Vesuvius is probably most famous for covering Pompeii in ash and soil and scientists fear that another big eruption is coming soon. Its last eruption was in 1944.
Stromboli is a little island and is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Known for its regular explosions, throwing lava out of its vents frequently.
